自动下载最新版本的应用程序 [英] Auto download latest version of application

问题描述

嗨


我在大约15个台式机上运行Win Forms应用程序。用户都有myProgram.exe的桌面快捷方式更新涉及到每个站点并在站点上删除新的exe。应用程序连接到SQL服务器数据库



我想要做的是将最新版本的应用程序放在数据库的表中，以及新的副本在某个地方的网络文件夹中的版本，然后使用某种启动应用程序检查数据库，如果该应用程序不是最新版本，从服务器获取最新版本的exe并运行它。我不想重命名桌面快捷方式，所以想保持myProgram.exe文件名相同。我在应用程序中使用配置文件进行某些用户设置，因此可以在其中放置一些版本的信息，并在每次从服务器下载新版本时更新配置文件？



我假设我需要编写一个新应用程序来检查数据库，进行下载（如果需要）然后启动myProgram？



可以有人提供了一些最佳方法的例子吗？

Hi
I have a Win Forms app running on about 15 desktops. Users all have a Desktop shortcut to the myProgram.exe Updates involve going to each station and dropping the new exe on the station. App connects to a SQL server DB

What I would like to do is put the latest version of the app in a table in the DB, and a copy of the new version in a folder on the network somewhere and then use some sort of start-up app that checks the DB, and if the app is not the latest version, fetch the newest version of the exe from the server and run it. I dont want to have to rename the desktop shortcut, so would like to keep the myProgram.exe filename the same. I use a config file with the app for some user settings, so could put some info on the version in there, and update the config file each time a new versions is downloaded from the server?

I assume I need to write a new app to check the db, do the download (if needed) and then start the myProgram?

Can anyone offer some examples of the best way to do this?

推荐答案

您是否看过ClickOnce部署？您所描述的内容听起来非常适合在网络共享上进行集中部署。每次应用程序启动时，它都会检查网络共享以获取更新版本并更新本地副本（如果有）。



看看这里：

但是这不是由数据库，但通过更新网络共享上的部署。

Did you take a look at ClickOnce deployment? What you describe sounds like a good fit for a central deployment on a network share. Everytime the application starts it checks the network share for a newer version and updates the local copy if available.

Take a look here:
ClickOnce Security and Deployment[^]

However this is not driven by the database, but by updating the deployment on the network share.

很可能有很多方法可以做到这一点。您可以将新版本（安装程序）放在服务器上，可以使用小应用程序下载它以进行更新。数据库是保存版本的好方法，应用程序可以检查此版本。我通常将应用程序版本设置为与更新版本相同，程序可以通过数据库检查它的版本 - 如果它不同，则启动更新程序应用程序，下载并运行它。

There are most likely many ways to do this. You can place the new version(installer) on a server, where it can be downloaded with a small app for updating. The database is a great way to hold the version and the app can check this version. I typically set the app version same as update version that way the program can check it''s version with the database - if it''s not the same launch the updater app, download and run it.

你所描述的听起来很合适

What you describe sounds like a good fit

这是完美契合！这可能让我在Dot Net Frameworks等方面遇到了很多麻烦:)



谢谢米尔

That''s a perfect fit! This could have saved me LOTS of trouble with Dot Net Frameworks etc :)
